They put together the Model 621, aka M16A1 \u201cHBAR\u201d (Heavy Barreled Assault Rifle &#8211; not the same idea and the HBAR target rifles much more commonly seen) as a sort of LMG sister to the M16A1 rifle. It was essentially the exact same idea as the RPK &#8211; a support machine gun with parts interchangeability and identical handling to the standard infantry rifle. A small number were made in the 9 million serial number range, but no contracts were ever made to sell them in significant numbers. A few, like this one, eventually came out of Colt and into the civilian collectors\u2019 market.<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
